Radical Action Senior Membership Ques HonedStudents Fill Committee Slots;

Author Mitchell Goodman lectured onAmerican novelist and social critic WilliamCarlos Williams in an address at the Collegeon Tuesday, November 10. The lecture,titled "William Carlos Williams as a Non-parochial Writer - a Step into America",stressed Williams' relevance to the radicalmovement in American politics.

Goodman, author of books on radicalaction in America, and a member of thesteering committee of the draft resistanceorganization Resist, is the husband of poet-in-residence Denise Levertov.

Goodman stated that the purpose of hislecture was to consider Williams both as aliterary figure and a political activist andcritic. Goodman set a very informal toneduring his lecture, scattering his notes overthe podium. He called his lecture a"collage".,

Williams' work, according to Goodman,was characterized by a quotation fromEmerson: "Do the thing, and he has thepower; he who does not do the thing does nothave the power." Williams lived a dualexistence, writing a total of 49 books whilemaintaining a practice as a doctor in hisbirthplace of Rutherford, New Jersey.

Goodman stated that Williams was agreat literary figure because he was"always in touch with the world from hisbeginnings." Unlike most Americanwriters, Williams was able to face theAmerican experience while avoiding whatGoodman termed "parochialism", ornarrowness. Williams was able to do this,said Goodman, because he never deniedhimself any experience, and never Rejectedany person or idea without first en-countering it. Williams, said Goodman,never knew the isolation of writing.

In speaking of today's movement,Goodman described Williams as a prophetand teacher. "The Movement," he said,"had needed a new language, and the newlanguage of the poets of the 1950s and 1960swas inspired by Williams."

Goodman expressed the opinion that themost important direction for the movementto enter was towards greater understandingof local communities. He made a plea forpeople to get to know what is going on at alllevels of the community.

Student positions on five faculty com-mittees were filled in an election lastWednesday. The results were releasedWednesday night by election coordinatorJonathan A. Stevens '73. 513 students, 34 percent of the student body, voted.

Because of faculty objections to seniorsserving on the committees, according toStevens, several of those students electedwill serve as alternates. The chairmen ofthe Academic Affairs Committee and theCurriculum Committee said they wouldprefer not to have seniors in their mem-bership because of the shot terms they

would serve, Stevens said.The seven student members of the College

Council, who conducted the election,decided to conduct the election as plannedand work out difficulties later. Alternateswere named to the two committees, and willassume office if it is decided that seniorswill not be allowed membership, saidStevens. •

Two alternates will be chosen among thetop four winners of the College AffairsCommittee election, according to Stevens,although not because of the senior mem-bership conflict. Similarly, one alternate

College Sues B&G UnionFor Refusing to Bargain

There will be a meeting of allTRIPOD photographers on Monday at 8p.m. in the TRIPOD office. Thismeeting is mandatory. It is a result ofthe fact that there was nobody aroundWednesday night, and that there are nopictures in this issue. Be there. •

The college has filed suit with the NationalLabor Relations Board against the unionrepresenting the workers of Buildings andGrounds charging B&G negotiators withrefusing to bargaining collectively.

The move comes one week after talksbetween the Service Employees In-ternational Union, AFL-CIO and the collegebroke down. The union walked out of thetalks when the college refused to pay theemployees involved in the bargaining for thetime they spend negotiating.

The college maintained in the suit that bypresenting a non-negotiable demand ascondition for bargaining, the union violatedthe Taft Hartley Act. - :

The college has said that it filed the suit topressure the union into renewing thebargaining sessions.

The union has threatened to strike whenthe present contract runs out on November25. , ,.

No negotiating can be done until the suithas been settled by a court or the charge isdropped by the college. A union spokesmansaid a court decision could take up to amonth.

Frank J. Gontarz, Jr., business agent forthe union, charged that the college is"provoking a strike" with the court action.He said that the college lawyers areresponsible for the hostile college action,because they gave "ill advice."

Major issues that will be involved in thebargaining include who pays for the workershealth, welfare, and pension funds, whetherthere will be an automatic cost-of-livingraise provision and how many hours the B &G people will work.

The TRIPOD has tried to arrange a publicdebate between union representatives andcollege spokesmen. Under the terms of thelast contract, however union agents, areprohibited from coming on campus exceptto bargain collectively or investigate unfairlabor practices, unless invited by thecollege. The college refused, to invite them.

Marry 0. Bartlett, assistant to thePresident and college spokesman for thenegotiations, said that he felt the opendebate would not be productive because theessentials of collective bargaining would bemissing. He gave one example of anegotiator making a statement and thenretracting it as common in collectivebargaining, but impossible in front of anaudience.

Bartlett said Wednesday that federalmediators might participate in the dispute,in an effort to revive the talks.

The college is refusing to pay for theemployees' negotiating time because thereis no provision for it in last year's contract.

Bartless said the college is willing todiscuss negotiating wages as part of nextyear's contract.

In its list of demands, the union asks thatthe college pay the full cost of employees'health, welfare, and pension funds run byboth labor and management underprovisions of the Taft-Hartley Act.

The college now holds a policy for itsworkers where the college pays for morethan half of each plan. The College usesBlue-Cross, Blue Shield for health andwelfare insurance, and a pension plan run

Lecturers Tell Spooky StoriesOn Falling Rocks, Flaming People

Things that go bump in the night -morecommonly known as "poltergeist"- was thesubject of Edward and Lorraine Warren'ssecond ghost hunters lecture, held Wed-nesday night in the Washington Room.

Over five hundred people listened as Mr.Warren cited many examples of poltergeistactivity in and around Connecticut. Heexplained that poltergeist is the Germanword for "mischievous ghosts" according toWarren, poltergeist are usually content tofling objects such as dishes, pots, pans,lamps, and furniture, through the air. Theyare also fond of noise Warren said thatsounds ranging from light taps to "loud,powerful blows" have been allegedly causedby poltergeist,

But sometimes they are more than justmischievous Warren said. "Fires ofmysterious origin, some of them violentlydestructive, are typical poltergeistmanifestations." He added that "Manycases of spontaneous combustion of humanshave been laid at the door of poltergeist.

Warren described two s.uch cases ofspontaneous combustion. In both instances

the bones of the victims were almost totallymelted. Warren pointed out that a tem-perature in excess of 3,000 degreesFahrenheit is needed to melt human bones."And yet little, damage" was done to therooms in question, "outside of smokedamage," said Warren. He dismissed policeexplanations of cigarettes left burning andflashes of lightning as "not covering thefacts." : .

As in last week's lecture on hauntedhouses, Warren showed slides of people andplaces that have been harassed by spirits.One house shown was, according to Warren,repeatedly struck by stones that seeminglycame from nowhere. Investigators weremystified because the rocks left no marks inthe soft asphalt roof of the house, Warrenadded.

He mentioned several other eases of stoneshowers, in which the stones fell to theground at "an unusually slow speed" or "ina zig-zag motion...that defied all known lawsof physics." He reported that some peoplehave been killed by such flying rocks orother missiles; f

In the lecture, Warren also touched onESP and teleportation, describing in-vestigations in which "ghostly"displacement of objects was captured onvideotape. He also discussed several peoplewho have been "possessed" by poltergeistor who seemed to attract poltergeist ac-tivity. .

In the question and answer periodfollowing the lecture, Warren was asked if itwas possible to call up a poltergeist with aouija boaad; Warren replied that "low en-tities" would be more likely to be called up,but that "poltergeist activity is one of thethings that would come through on the ouijaboard itself,"

Asked for his explanation of the "Ber-muda triangle"-an area in the Pacificocean in which several planes and shipshave mysteriously vanished-Warren saidhe thought a "fourth dimension" wasresponsible for the disappearances.

Next week's lecture will deal with wit-chcraft; and will feature Bill Jackson, anexpert on reincarnation, ;

will be named from the top four in theCurriculum Committee contest, in additionto the one named in case the elected seniormember won't serve.

The alternates in these situations will bedetermined at the first meeting of thecommittees. Terms of office will also bedecided at these meetings, said Stevens.Terms of the members elected to theAcademic Affairs, College Affairs, Lecture,and Financial Affairs Committees will beginimmediately, according to Stevens, whilethose for the Curriculum Committee won'tbegin until January,

Klected to fill the one student slot on theAcademic Affairs Committee is John M.Uezok "71. John F. Bahrenberg '72 placedsecond and was named alternate.

Kour students were elected to thellurriculum Committee, one of whom will beselected alternate: John F. Bahrenberg '72,Christopher II. Chase '74, William Overtree'71, ;ind Steven K. Roylance '73. Aimer J.Mandl '72 became alternate until theresolution of the membership status ofsenior Overtree.

Gov't StudentsRequest FullVoting Status

Three students were elected to attendmeetings of the Political Science Depart-ment Faculty at a meeting of the depart-ment's majors Wednesday afternoon,

The election of Clinton Vince '71, JohnSeeger '72, and Andrew Wolf '73 followed ameeting of majors, prospective majors andthe faculty of the Political Science Depart-ment. . : . . . . . . . .

At that meeting, Richard Palmer '72asked if several majors could be made fullvoting members of the department. Rex;C.Neaverson, professor of political scienceand acting chairman of the department,suggested that one or two students beselected to attend the next meeting of theDepartment. After Neaverson and otherfaculty members left the meeting, the threestudents were elected.

During the meeting with the Depart-ment's faculty, several students suggestedchanges in departmental policies includingan end to the required comprehensiveexamination.

Neaverson .warned the students thatcomprehensive exams."would become morerather than less important" during the nextfew years,

Neaverson said he felt that the"loosening" of departmental requirements,and the increased use of open semesters,independent studies, and other optionswould make comprehensive exams in-creasingly necessary, "We need some checkon how much you have learnt, " Neaversonsaid.

One student said that he sensed "an-tagonism" toward open semesters on thepart of Neaverson.

Neaverson denied that he was an-tagonistic toward the open semester, "f amantagonistic toward removing com-

Film: "Five Easy Pieces"Starring Jack Nicholson

by Chris SehringLast Srnday afternoon, Cinestudio

presented a free, sneak preview of FiveKasy Pieces. The attraction to a film with noadmission charged and also of a film thathas received rave reviews from the NewYork critics brought about a capacitycrowd. And, judging from the reaction toFive Kasy Pieces from members of theaudience and the inner reactions of myself,it was a well spent afternoon.

The film revolves around Bobby (JackNicholson), a drifter. Despite his musically-oriented background Bobby is more contentto do odd jobs for a living than to performprofessionally. At the end of the movie,Bobby leaves his pregnant girlfriend at afilling station and hitches a ride up toCanada.

Five Kasy Pieces often suffers the same-'problems that many of today's "now" filmshave. With its many attempts to strike at the

Your Own Thing, the rock musicalbased on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night,originally scheduled for tomorrownight, has been POSTPONED until thespring, April, in fact.

New Game"Kick-In" a soccer-like table top

game, is a new addition to the MatherCampus Center Game Room.

The game is designed for two players,who manipulate "men" on the board tokick balls into goal pockets. Twenty-fivecents buys ten balls, and the score is kepton the machine. After minimal practice,players find "Kick-In" to be a fast-moving game of skill and fun.

problems of the world - the episode with thefanatically pollution conscious women, orBobby's rebellion against the "Establish-ment", smashing some glasses in arestaurant that wouldn't serve him what hewanted -- Easy Pieces lost some of thetightness that it could have used to create abetter film. The heroic and idealistic imageof the wanderer has become almost ascommon as the passionate love scene intoday's films. My complaint against thesefrequent images is that they are drawing thefilm farther away from its supposed "tell itlike it is" theme. These films are becomingmore and more like fantasy and less likereality.

But this tendency that Pieces has ofslipping into nothing more than escapistfare does not condemn it as a bad film.Despite the afore-mentioned problems,occasional slip-shod editing, and confusingsequences of scenes, Pieces is one of thefinest and most important films of the year.I found Pieces to be in the category of what Icall "haunting films". Unconsciously, Iwould find myself thinking about it severalhours later. I place a great deal of emphasison how much of an impression a film makeswhen'I am judging a movie. The most im-pressive scene in the film, and also the mostimportant, is Bobby's confrontation with hisinvalid father. Highly reminiscent of ArloGutherie visiting Woodie in Alice'sRestaurant, the old man's only movement isthe blinking of his eyelids. Bobby tearfullyconfesses his insecurity and his inability tomeet and solve his problems. This sense ofhelplessness- and frustration ismagnificently magnified by the dark,brooding skies in the background, and theoldman's seemingly unfeeling rigidity. Thescene involving Bobby and his father is themost revealing to the audience of Bobby'schildlike fears of facing the world.

Five Easy Pieces is a film definitely worthseeing, especially for nothing. For those whomissed it and will have to wait till it comesto a local theater -- for $2.50 a head -- too bad.But it's well worth the price.

Poco, Country-Rock Band,Dazzles at UHAR Concert

by Roy DudleyThe Homecoming festivities at the

University of Hartford last Sunday werespotlighted by what I believe to be one of thefinest musical experiences I have everwitnessed. The concert bill was Sha-Na-Na-and Poco, with the possible inclusion of VanMorrison, who, as it turned out, was absentdue to illness.

The rock and roll revivalists would havehad a field day with Sha-Na-Na's per-formance; it truly was something ex-traordinary. Personally I was quiteprepared to be bored by this resurgence of

CELLULOSE

The Western Film Genreby Ted Kroll

The Western has been a noble genrethroughout the entire history of the cinema.Actually the first narrative film ever made,THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, was agood ol' Western with the actors of Edison'sstudio dressing up, getting on horses andrunning around the wilds of East Orange,New Jersey in the first attempts to re-create,the wild and wooly West. From these quaint,fraudulent beginnings, the Western hasgradually- built an entire Americanmythology around the romantic notionsconjured up by the old cowboys and Indiansgame. The American frontier according toHollywood has little or nothing to do withwhat actually happened in our own not-so-distant past. Really a lot of these fellows sovenerated on the screen were slimycharacters who did not have enough moneylo buy any bullets to practice with, and as aconsequence were terrible shots. And thewomen out there, boy, they were witches.

Sammel Fuller, a fine but little knownfilm director, says he would like to do thetrue story of Jesse James, but no studio hasthe nerve to let him make it. He tells howJesse, during the Civil War, dressed up as asweet looking whore to lure Union soldiersinto a relaxed, compromising position, thenhis brother would shoot them in the back ofI he head. Another little gruesome ditty of(he James brothers is the time they stoppedi\ hospital train and killed all of the woundedmen on the train. Not nice stuff at all.

But Hollywood is the dream factory, andfor the almighty dollar, they will dish up justabout anything you want to see. With theWostorn, the film industry has done anoutstanding job of molding out of the vagueI'millei'lions of the West the symbolic in-I'amntion of the American dream. In thetypical Western we have the strong, silentpragmatic hero who faces all sorts of ad-versity, generally easily identified by color,oithor black hats or red skins, but singlehamit\Hy scorns to always get the blond-luiivod virgin or the whore with that heartfull of m>Ul iusl in time for the final fade-out.

This i« simplifying what the Western

genre actually is, but really simplicity iscertainly one of the Western's greatestvirtues. The grand old man of these things,John Wayne, once made a very true andsimple statement on the great appeal of theWestern: "The greatest image in thecinema is a horse running across thescreen", and so it is. The cinema works atits best when it shows action, and if nothingelse the Western tends to place personalrelationships into an extremely action-filledvisual perspective.

While this country held onto its old puritanmyths of anyone can get ahead in America ifhe works hard enough at it, or the AbeLincoln myth of how log cabins are thebirthplaces of presidents, the Western forthe most part stayed relatively un-sophisticated. But as technology, racismand the other messes of our civilization havebecome pounded into our heads, theWestern, too, has gradually changed.Throughout the sixties the classical shoot'em story has evolved into the story of thelast frontiers, the death of the ideal man ofthe West. The greatest film of this type isJohn Ford's THE MAN WHO SHOTHOT LIBERTY VALANCE. The movieopens on the small funeral of John Wayne,the forgotten rancher, the man who reallyshot Liberty Valance. This story of whatactually happened is told in an extendedflashback, a rare device for Ford'snarrative technique, but looking back onthis story gives it the feeling of mourningover the lost greatness in the past. By theend of the film we are left with the picture ofthe true heroic West as dead and buried andtechnology overtaking the individualismthat originally settled the land.

But the Western refuses to die. Now in theseventies one of the major film talents toemerge in America lately is that of SamPeckinpah. He will not make any sort of filmexcept Westerns, and that he does well. Oneof the major themes in all his films is theidea of civilization pushing the old boys intoa limbo, into situations where their old in-dividualistic morality cannot fight back

with any success. However, in THE WILDBUNCH they make a super heroic standwhich makes the gun fight at the OK corrallook like a Sunday social.

Peckinpah is a great lover of the Westerngenre. Aside from his intellectual preten-sions, he has great ability to re-create thefloppy, dusty period of the early 20th cen-tury in a place like El Paso, Texas. The filmpicks up on a out-rnoded gang of outlawswho are forced out of the country simplythrough the fire power, the overkill of thelaw. The entire film follows them aroundMexico trying to regain their formerbearings as professional outlaws. Finallythey realize they must give up, but they donot surrender their status as men who liveby the gun. Instead, we get the exhilaratingexperience of watching them play out theirroles to the bloody end, a veritable Got-terdammerung of the horse opera, quiteWagnerian in its overwhelming effect.

With THE BALLAD OF CABLE HOGUE,we see Peckinpah again working with thetheme of a creeping civilization into theWest. However, this time we see things fromthe angle of the civilizer, not the outcast asin THE WILD BUNCH, so the feeling of this'ballad' is quite a bit more tranquil. JasonRobards plays the role of Cable Hogue, acharacter left to die by his partners in thedesert. He discovers a spring and naturallymakes a bundle, as the stagecoach lines runright through the newly established town ofCable Springs. Still, the town grows out ofhis control due to its increasing size untilCable Hogue finally is knocked dead by theexpanding technology in the form of anautomobile.

Peckinpah might be riding the westernthrough its final paces, but he does not seemto notice this. His films have an epic streakin which makes their viewing an exciting,almost physical experience. The Americancinema might have seen its better days, just,like the Western itself, but it is consoling toknow there are still directors like Peckinpahwho approach this noble genre with the freeand integrity it deserves.

the music of yesteryear, but lo and behold, itwas very natural to get into their trip. Assoon as the first strains of "Whole LottaShakin" Gain' On" hit the back wall of theUHar gym, people were on their feet doingthose wonderful dances of the late 50's (for10 points who remembers American Band-.stand's sweethearts?). From then on it wasa veritable free for all onstage with verba'abuse thrown at the audience by various-band members, in the best Brooklyn style.

Offstage, the audience was having itschance to boogie also, as the crowd as amass cheered those ingenious individualswho, lacking the price of admission, decidedto unhinge the doors. As the last gate/crasher was settling into a comfortablei niche, Sha-Na-Na was finishing with the' admonition "Rock and Roll will Stand."

Fifteen minutes later, the atmosphere inthe room had changed so radically that itwas hard to believe that this was the sameconcert. The crowd at the 8 o'clock show waswitnessing the finest set of music I haveever heard played by anyone. Themusicians? Richie Furay's POCO, (with onesur prise addition).

Prior to ascending the stage, I had oc:casion to view the musicians and noticedthat Jim Messina was absent and in hisplace was a very familiar looking blondguitarist. It took 2 or 3 minutes to sort outthe features and come up with a name, but itwas well worth the mental stress. Playingwith Poco was Paul Cotton, formerly apartner of the outstanding guitar harmoniesof the Illinois Speed Press. (I later learnedthat he had been playing with the group foronly 1 week prior to the date of this concert).He played like one bitch.

For all the talk of how fine Crosby, Stills?'Nash, & Young are, you can have them.POCO is the country-rock band. WithTimothy B. Shmit, (the most beautiful andserene musician around) George Gran-tham, and Rusty Young making full house to;Cotton and Furay, the Poco unit is un-beatable. Messina wasn't even missed.

To see Poco perform "El Tonto de Nada.;Regressa", with Rusty Young on his knees,fingertips bleeding as they strain against hispedal steel guitar, Shmit rocking to and frowith his Kritios boy smile, and over it all.Furay, evoking all those great vibes of pap'Buffalo performances, is the ultimate incountry rock. The harmonies are all there,along with some fine guitar harmony bet-wixt Cotton and Young, but the best thing is.it have Poco give back to you all the Wpreciationand more that you've given them.They really are beautiful, pax.

rSkimming"

Ike & Tina Revisitedby Peter Hartman

When last we left Ike & Tina Turner, theyhad just finished putting together atremendous album, "Come Together." Now

y they're back to bring us even further thrills.Like "Let it Be," with Tina's improvisedlyrics, "Proud Mary" ("nice and easy" and"rufff" versions combined), and a delightfullittle ditty entitled "Funkier Than aMosquita's Tweeter." Altogether, it is onlyabout half as strong as the last effort, beingpoorly produced. Their sound dependslargely on a funky bass and Tina's singing,but on this album we find the bass and

\ Tina's voice thin and lacking. The songsL themselves are the basic material that they}' have always done, mostly funky blues and

RnB quickies with unnamed and seeminglyuncaring studio musicians. It's really ashame when one of the finest live acts in the

u' world has to go out and water down theirreputation with an effort like this. It's notbad, make no mistake, it just doesn'tmeasure up to their last spectacularshowing. Such a shame.

I am a rock and roll freak. Therefore, Iwill not try and judge the new Miles Davistwo record set, "Miles Davis Live at theFillmore." I know little or nothing about thistype of music, but this set seems to be better(freer, anyway) than "Bitches Brew." Butlike I said, I have not the background to saya word about it. I only advise those of youwho are into this particular form that it is

Miles," "Thursday Miles," "Friday Miles,"and "Saturday Miles." The musicians arelisted in the depths of the liner notes, andinclude Jack DeJohnette, Keith Jarrett,Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and SteveGrossman. I can say no more.

Finally we come to my prize of the week.After listening to Miles and Tina (what ashow that'd make), I opened a record cartonand found a record on Epic seemingly en-titled "Crap." But, no, I misread it, it wasCarp. It seemed logical that Epic would besending me crap, but I listened to it anyway.And it was excellent. The personnel at therecord company must have been tripping orsomething when they signed this group, for,unlike the majority of groups on Epic, thisband has what it takes to be really first-class. Their sound is basically country, butthey throw in good-time rock and roll forgood measure, and even sneak in somegospel. The result is fine. They come offsounding like a Band album where^ theyforgot they were supposed to be better thaneverybody and just enjoyed themselves. Theharmonies are tight, the instrumental worksimple, but beautiful. There is only onetrack which comes off as a bit labored, butthey didn't write that one, so all is forgiven.They have a good, tight, fun sound thatdoesn't worry about whether they arerelevant. They are relevant to themselves,and that's all that they care about. Themusic has obviously grown and maturedwith them, but still retains the freshnessthat is necessary to put it across. Made up ofbass, guitar, drums, and honky-tonk piano,they have a down to earth sound-nopretensions, no obvious sophistication. Justfun music, and really fun to listen to. If youare into "Country-rock" you'll probablylove this album as I will. It grows on you.Buy it, the boys need encouragement.

That's all for this week. Zappa hasanother solo album due out any day now,reportedly with parts of "200 Motels" on it.And Love has another out, but is basic Ar-thur Lee. "You got to get back to motherEarth." G'bye. . , . .

Goodman Discusses PoetnOf William Carlos Williams

by Vaughn KeithI've never had and still don't have much

respect for William Carlos Williams as apoet, but after Mitchell Goodman'srefreshingly informal and unsystematicallyinformative lecture last Tuesday evening Iam suddenly aware of the author's con-tributions as a thinker.

In subject the talk was only half devoted toWilliams as a "non-parochial" writer. Theother half, at the previous suggestion ofsome students outside the English depart-ment, was entitled: "Revolution does notcome from nowhere." Nor were these twothemes neatly separated in thought orchronology, but rather interconnective.Consequently, the literary aspect ofWilliams' work became sacrificed tocultural and philosophical concerns. For toWilliams, culture (as defined in his essay,The American Background) is "not a thing;it is an act. If it stands still, it is dead." Mr.Goodman draws on this concept of a non-static society in an attempt to concretize the"Movement," to make the need for socio-political reform more immediate.

Unlike "parochial," or "narrow," writerssuch as Hemingway (who, according to Mr.Goodman, deserted America only to wind upwriting novels about "puerile machismo")or Phillip Roth (who "belongs to RCA"),Williams did confront the society of hisbirthplace, and, turning down many offers

Airplane ComingTo Jock Palace

TheTripod learned Thursday afternoon thatthe Jefferson Airplane Concert scheduledfor Tuesday, November 17 has been can-,celled by mutual agreement between theMather Halll Board of Governors and theRock Group. The concert was cancelledwhen the Board of Governors found thatcounterfeit tickets had been printed andserious security problems arose.

of fame and fortune from the U.S. andabroad, practiced medicine for forty yearsin Rutherford, New Jersey. Over this periodof time he estimates that he came in contactwith about one and a half million patients.There, in a close interchange with allclasses of people, his "senses could act,"while his mind would expose itself to thetrue American experience. Williams did notisolate himself from society and hence freshstimuli. In contrast to Williams, however,Mr. Goodman maintained that socalled"parochial" writers, locked away in theirCatskill cottages or Neapolitan villas, are"cut off from everyday connections," in-terrelations which would help in a universalunderstanding of the human (and, in par-ticular, the American ) situation. v

A radical thinker working and com-municating with auto workers in Detroitdoes more to place the people in politics thanthe "liberal" who attempts to bring politicsto the people, while refusing them self-organization and autonomy within mutuallydemocratic localities.

This is the "revolution" Williams seemedto foresee. Through his inquiries into pastAmerica, Williams sought to ascertain hisown national identity, to discover significantparallels for future confrontations. Suchempathetic curiosity Goodman claims is"the most dynamic and most energizinghuman characteristic," if it arises from anequal plane and not from narrow con-descension.

Theoretically such a philosophy seemsquite hopeful. Yet, one wonders, if in ourvast heterogeneous environment such a"basic" revolution is feasible. In this regardGoodman's initial quotation from Emersonmay appear somewhat vague: "Do the thingand you have the power; he who does not dothe thing has not the power." However, onsecond thought, it can easily be applied to"non-parochial" interpretation. What ad-vice would Williams give today to those whomight wish to ameliorate society from theroots'? I think Mitchell Goodman said it all.Let us "reject nothing, deny nothing andtake that step into America."

instrumentation. Throughout the six albumsthe group has recorded, this gcal has beenmet and indeed expanded upon again andagain.

The element of concern, over essentiallyhuman propensities and follies, is quiteprominent in the lyrics of the Airplane,though much more so on the last threereleases. There is concern for fellow man,concern for one's self, and concern for theworld (HA!). Musically, there is nocriticism whatsoever that can be levied atthe group. They play, and they playsuperbly. Every time. Tuesday's concertshould prove especially interesting from amusician's point of view, as it will be thefirst time to my knowledge, that a femalerock vocalist has undertaken a concert tourwhile being eight months pregnant. (I'msure that all have heard the raps aboutGrace's forthcoming child, but just in case...Paul Kantner is the father and the child willbe called simply god).

EDITORIAL SECTION

Next StepWith the election of students to seats on Faculty committees, and with the in-

dication given by some departments that student participation in departmentalmeetings will be welcome, the time has come to seize the initiative. The studentsof this college have for too long played the action and reaction game: the collegetakes a position or makes a move and the students respond positively ornegatively with varying degrees and intensity. With one foot in the door of themajor decision making councils student representatives must consolidate theirgains by presenting to these august bodies fresh ideas and proposals for con-sideration. If the Faculty and Administration do all the thinking, and do all thework, we have accomplished nothing; the student voting power on any of thesebodies is still minimal. What is important is the forum which has been gained bythese latest developments. Sitting through committee or departmental meetingswith a vague self-image as "defender of students" Is worthless. Innumerableopportunities for fundamental change await student representatives In the areasof major and degree requirements; housing and community life, college finan-cing, grading, appointments and promotions of Faculty and AdministratorsTo continue allowing the legislative initiative in these areas to fall into the handsof the Faculty and Administration is to relinquish any of the power or Influencethat might have been gained over the last two years.

If and when student representatives do begin to exercise their new respon-sibilities with the needed vigor, they must be recognized by the Faculty as fullparticipating voting members in the decision making process. To excludestudents from Faculty meetings and deny them a vote there after they have beenmajor contributors to new proposals would be unfair and unjust. If studentsaccept responsibilities of committee membership, they deserve all the privilegesof those positions. That this next step should not be taken would prove only thatstudent representation is tokenistic,

r Mastering the Draft

Questions And Answers. Copyright 1970 by John Striker and Andrew Shapiro ,

Q.: Will the student deferment beabolished?

A.: On April 23, 1970 the President askedCongress for authority to eliminate thestudent deferment. Only Congress canprovide this authority. In the past,Representative Mendel Rivers, Chairman ofthe House Armed Services Committee, hasbeen a strong advocate of the studentdeferment. However, recently he indicatedhe was having "second thoughts" about hisposition. He said he "was becomingdisenchanted" with the student defermentbecause of the college disorders fomentedby deferred students. With this change inRepresentative Rivers' position, thechances for the elimination of the studentdeferment are greatly increased.

Q.: If the student deferment is abolished,what will be my chances of keeping the II-Sdeferment until I graduate?

A.: A recent Local Board Memorandumprovided the following warning: "Underlegislation now pending in Congress, aregistrant who obtains a . . . .II-S defermentby enrolling on April 23, 1970 or thereaftermay lose, his deferment by the President onApril 23. If enacted, students in this year'sfreshman class may find themselveswithout a deferment next year. A futurecolumn will indicate what steps you can taketo register your approval or disapproval ofthe President's proposed legislation.

Q.: Is the official list of disqualifyingmedical defects available to the public?

A.: Yes. It is published in our book"Mastering the Draft." It is also containedin "The Draft Physical," available for $1.00from Brooklyn Bridge Press, P, O. Box 1894,Brooklyn, New York 11202.

Q.: Can I get a complete copy of myselective service file?

A.: Yes. Every registrant is entitled tosecure a copy of his file. The procedure is asfollows: (1) You should send a letter to yourlocal board requesting a photostatic copy ofyour selective service file (officially called aCover Sheet.) (2) A copy of the letter mustbe sent to the Sstate headquarters of thestate in which your local board is located.Your local board can tell you the address ofthe state headquarters. (3) The statedirector will then write to you informing youof the city in which the copying will be done.In most cases, this city will be the location of

the state headquarters. (4) You must thenmake arrangements with a commercialduplicating firm in the city designated. Thearrangements should provide that a *representative of the Selective Service "System will bring in the file for duplication.The representative will not pay for theduplication. Thus, you must agree with thecommercial firm on some form of advancepayment or subsequent billing. (5) Whenyou have made these arrangements, writethe state director informing him of the nameand address of the firm. (6) The statedirector will arrange for an employee totake your file to the copying firm andmonitor the reproduction "in order toprotect the confidentiality of the file." Youmust pay $"$5 per hour, or fraction thereofin excess of one-quarter hour for the em-ployee's time to monitor the reproductioncomputing from the time of his departureuntil his return to his post." (7) The file andits copy will be returned to the stateheadquarters, You will be sent a bill for themonitoring service. After the bill is paid,you will be sent the copy of your file.

Q.: Why is it important for me to have acopy of my file?

A.: The copy provides you with protectionagainst the possibility that local boardmembers or clerks will alter the contents ofyour file to cover up their mistakes. Forexample, consider the following recentcourt case. A young man sought a con-scientious objector classification. His localboard denied the request and, as required bylaw, wrote down the reason and placed theletter in his file. A few months later, a court,in an unrelated case, declared this par-ticular reason an improper ground fordenying a C. O. request. When the youngman's board learned of the Court case, itopened his file and changed the reason fordenying his C. O. request so that is nowconformed to the law. Ultimately, the young Iman refused induction. Fortuntely, hisattorney had made a complete copy of theyoung man's file before the board membershad made any changes. At the trial henoticed the change. The case was thrown outof court with instructions to the U. S. At-"'torney to investigate the conduct of theboard members. Only because he had acomplete copy of the file was he able todetect the change.

I seem to have missed registration againthis year. This is nothing very unique, as Itend to miss a lot of big events, and have asneaking feeling that I misplaced 1969 en-tirely. This year, however, I was sort oflooking forward to it.

This was the year that I finally perfectedmy advisor's signature, and put together aschedule I wanted. Through a specialarrangement with the Registrar, whosesignature I had previously learned to forge,I had put together a major in student-taughtcourses.

I had intended to keep this to myself, atleast till after graduation (I thought anhonors degree would be nice, and I've beenworking on Lockwood's signature), but withmy failure to make the cut there is anopening in all my courses, and I think it onlyfair to share it with the rest of you.

GREAT THINKERS: ISAAC NEWTONAND MAO TSE-TUNG: The first part of thecourse will be devoted to mastering physics,Chinese and Communism. The class willthen spend several weeks on the nature ofTime, determining precisely how these twopeople were able to confer with each other.The final paper will be a discussion as towhether they were reaEy the same man,

with students challenged to answer thequestion, "Have you ever seen themtogether?"'

MATING HABITS OF THE WOMBAT:With slides. A biggie. The class will discusssuch topics as Wombat Mixers; Are MoralsCollapsing Among the Wombats?; anaTelling Wombats Apart. No one should missSlide 42 (Here's a Wombat Cruising). Note:it is very difficult to get into this class sinceit became known that the movie has beenrated X (No Wombat Under 3 Admitted) atthe Bronx Zoo.

THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY LIFE:ITS CAUSE AND CURE; This was the oneI'm really sorry I didn't get to register for,because I'm supposed to be teaching it. Thecurriculum consists of spreading nastyrumors about the Office of Community lve

(Did you know that Community Life causescancer?), making obscene phone calls, ana,as a term project, trying to discover what itdoes all day, and why. There will also be aweekly lab to determine where it fits into tneevolutionary cycle.

Cassidy, Salisch ReactTo Residential House Idea

LETTERS to the editor

by Matthew Moloshok

According to the Dean of Community Life,there is no single plan to overcome theproblems of housing and dining. Rather,Marc S. Salisch said the College could bebetter served by having several approachesto residential life which would allowstudents to choose their own life style.

The Assistant Dean of Community Life,John H. Cassidy, wanted the College todefine "residential life." " I hope residentiallife means something more than sleepingand showering and eating," he said. "It is anexperience in living and learning and asmuch a part of 'College' as academic life."

Cassidy suggested "the Trinity CollegeCommunity can creatively explore theresidential house plans of Harvard andYale." He said, however, it would require atremendous amount of money and otherresources to implement such a plan.

Salisch stated the College could not afforda residential College program. In fact, hesaid the College could not afford any majorconstruction or rennovation in the nearfuture.

"I have to be concerned that I am notputting you (students) in an impossiblesituation," Salisch said. According to theDean, student rentals are the only source offunds for the housing program. He said theprogram receives $600 from each studentand, of that money, $200 goes towardspaying off mortgages and other debts on the

residence halls. "That leaves us only $400 towork with - and that includes salaries," hesaid.

Salisch said he is investigating newconstruction techniques to bring down costsenough so that the College can afford newfacilities. For example, Salisch suggestedusing wood-frame town-house style dor-mitories. He also said he was interested inacquiring off-campus housing in the area ofthe College. Salisch said, however, "I haveserious doubts about ever building anotherdorm like Jones or North Campus."

Until the College does build, the over-crowding will remain and both Cassidy andSalsich acknowledge it is "a severeproblem." "Overcrowding is, in part, aperceptual thing," Cassidy said. "It is not asquare foot problem and I want to talk interms of life-styles and not square feet," theassistant dean continued.

Salisch said, "There should be real in-dividuality in each of the residence halls.But that has to come from the students. Itcannot come from us. We simply cannotlegislate individuality."

The whole community should be involvedin "defining what it is they want as theirresidential experience," according toCassidy. Salisch encouraged students totake an active role. "We want advice, feed-back," said the Dean. "We need studentinvolvement in policy making."

'Unwise'Ty the Editor:

We nominated ourselves to the Ap-pointments and Promotions Committee,because we felt that students could add avaluable perspective to the committee,which it now completely lacks.

The rejection of our nominations to theAppointments and Promotions Committee isno surprise. However, if any thought isgiven to the "Stone Affair" of last year, thedecision to exclude student participation inthe selection of faculty seems ill-considered.The "Stone Affair," which was result ofstudent-faculty reaction to the Ap-pointments and Promotions Committee'sconsideration of Chuck Stone and theeventual reversal of the committee 'sdecision shows, we feel, that student opinionis extremely relevant and necessary to theprocess of faculty selection.

All members of the college communityhave come together in the T. C. C, an ad-visory body. Why is there resistance to thisconcept by the Appointments andPromotions Committee, also an advisorybody?

As we have already said, we feel this to bean ill considered and unwise attitude and weask that more consideration be given to thesituation by the college community at largeand particularly by the facult" and trustees.

'Gay'To the Editor,

We are a newly organized group of GayLiberation Front people in Hartford, Youhave, probably heard of us in New York andBoston. But why just New York and Boston;are there not together gays in Hartford too?

The purpose of our G.L.P, group is to helpgay people, women and men alike, relate toeach other as human beings first rather thanas sexual objects. A predominantly collegeago group, we try by means of discussiongroups, consciousness raising sessions and.social gatherings to provide a warm friendlyopen meeting place for gay people who areturned off by the cold, inhuman, impersonalapproach of the barroom scene.

Prophet Takes Slim Leadby Kevin Gracey

Ha, O Slim! For lo, I spake, and it came topass that Slim became as one sick, and hishead became as butter, and his mouthbecame as a vast canyon through which thestreams of the Hudson doth flow, a foulpollution on the sacred realm of foot-balldom. And lo, the bright Fish of Truthdeparted from the land of Slim, andtravelled many a rod, and came a-knock,knock, knockin' at my door, whence Iopened wide my portal and the Fish enteredinto my home. And so it was that the Fishsold to me for thirty pieces of silver, a many-colored coat and six dollars, many greatwonders and a vacuum cleaner.

In short, I went 8 and 2 last week, pickingall four disputed games correctly, Min-nesota Mining and Manufacturing notwithstanding, while the Late P. Slimamassed a truly typical 4 and 6 week, a weekearlier highlighted by Slim buying an Edsel,(getting a nice trade-in on his Camaro),going to 3-0 movies every night, and in-vesting his entire life savings in a coughdrop mine. Such aberrant behavior can leadintelligent and reasonable people, such asmyself and two other people of myacquaintance, whether it is not only ac-ceptable but indeed safe to allow theFiladelphia Fool, as his parents call him, tocontinue to attempt to perpetrate his

crimes. Think of the immeasurable harmwe are doing to the environment, for despiteall precautions, Slim's column is oftencarelessly left in the presence of livingthings. And can one even dare to con-template the horrible effects that suchmaterial might have on our nation's youth?First thing you know, they'll be hangingaround MacDonald's all the time, dressingin blue jeans and smoking ciggies; in fact, itmay already be too late.

So I hereby propose that Slim's column bekept only in high places, such as Mt. 'Rainier, in hermetically sealed bottles ofTestor's Pla kept in vast vaults with leadwalls, for only then will be truly be safe.

NOVEMBER 21 — FERRIS GYMBENEFIT TRINITY BASEBALL:

STUDENTS $1.50 (In Advance)Donations: ADULTS $2.00

CHILDREN $100

by Mark von Mayrhauser

The Trinity freshmen football team puttogether many of the elements necessary fora successful season.

The frosh had two outstanding stars intwo-way starter Ron Duckett and quar-terback Saul Wiezenthal, stars who couldmake the big play and thus provide in-spirational leadership. The 99 yard TD in-terception return by Duckett againstSpringfield and the 76 yard touchdown passfrom Wiezenthal to Duckett in the fourthquarter against Coast Guard are two ratherspectacular, but typical, examples of theclutch plays made by this pair all season.Halfback-cornerback Duane McKay andlinebacker Barry O'Brien were two otherplayers who often lifted the team withstrong performances.

Even more instrumental, though, in thesuccess of the team was its depth. Thesquad, which numbered only 36 to beginwith, showed remarkable fluidity in com-petently filling up positions vacted by in-juries. No less than ten starters were lost, atone point or, another, due to injuries. Four ofthese, linebacker Mike Hoskinson, quar-terback Rich Hall, running back RobWalker, and tackle Adron Keaton, were lostfor the season when sidelined. Because ofthe great number of injuries, other mem-bers of the team played with aggravatingpains.

Above all, however, the most importantfactor in the Bantams' success was theirspirit. At midseason Coach McPhee noted,"This team just doesn't seem to be aware ofits problems with injuries. It's fully con-fident and expects to win. The spirit isremarkable."

The fyosh got off to a slow start in theirfirst game against Union, losing 20-14. Thenext week, however, the Bantams bouncedback with a tremendous second half effort toovercome Springfield 26-25 It was duringthis game that the injuries began, setting in.

On October 2nd the freshmen needed moresecond half heroics to down the Coast Guardfrosh 20-13. It must be pointed out that theCadets fielded an unusually strong club this

season, finishing 6-2 (beating Williams 35-8).In the following week, the Bantams tookWesleyan, 28-26, in a controlled scrimmage.In their final, and perhaps finest game ofthe season, the Trinity frosh impressivelydefeated Amherst, 21-6, and, thus, finishedwith a fine 4-1 record.

A number of freshman records werebroken this season. With quarterbacks Hall(1) and Wiezenthal (10) hitting for eleventouchdown passes, the previous record ofseven, set in 1961, was easily surpassed.Another freshman passing record, totalyardage for the season, was destroyed thisfall. This year's club amassed an amazingtotal of 1114 yards, shattering the old recordof 905 yards, set in 1965.

Individually, Saul Wiezenthal broke onefreshman record while Ron Duckett broketwo and tied one. Wiezenthal's ten TDpasses topped the previous mark of seven,established by M, Yavinsky in 1961. Duckettbroke two of Rick Heithoff's receptionrecords set just last year. With 7 TD catchesand 579 yards the fleet split end surpassedHeithoff's season's totals of 6 TD catchesand 517 yards. Duckett's eight touchdowns(7 catches and the interception) tied-GeneConey's freshman scoring record of 48points, also set a year ago.

The leading rushers for the Bantams thisyear were fullback John Naab and halfbackSteve Kasowitz. The hard running Naabripped off 150 yards in 52 carries for a 3.0average per carry while Kasowitz, a con-verted linebacker, gained 86 yards in 28carries for a 2.3 average. Duane McKay wassecond to Duckett in both scoring (24 points)and receiving (14 catches for 245 yards).Wiezenthal was, of course, the leadingpasser, hitting 43 of 78 attempts (55%) for810 yards.

Coach McPhee, summarizing his feelingsabout this season, said, "It was quitegratifying to me as a coach to see the boysovercome the injuries the way they did. Thisteam had as much spirit as any I've coachedin the last seven or eight years. It was aremarkable club in that respect,"

Government

prehensive exams given something likeopen semester," he said.

Neaverson denied that the purpose ofcomprehensive exams could be served bytests in individual courses. Comprehensivesdo not test "knowledge in specific areas,"Neaverson said. "They test if you can putthe information together. We are trying tofind out what you know about politicalscience in general. Only comprehensivescan do that," Neaverson continued.

Clinton Vince suggested that a courseevaluation of Political Science faculty andcourses be conducted. Neaverson said thatan evaluation should be organized bystudents. He said that he thought severalfaculty members would agree to work with agroup of students. Vince agreed to head sucha group of students.

William Caldwell '72, asked that thedepartment organize an ad hoc student-faculty committee to compile a list ofcourses acceptable for credit in thedepartment.

Neaverson agreed to "take this matter up

(from P. 1)with the next department meeting." Hecautioned that "the question of cognatecourses will have to be carefully consideredby the faculty before there are any studentsinvolved."

Married?Trinity students who are

married, may apply for Athleticl.D. cards for their spouses atthe office of the AthleticDirector, Karl Kurth, Jr., in theFerris Athletic Center. This newpolicy, effective immediately,will entitle wives or husbands ofmarried students to presentstudent admission rates forathletic contests.

TRINITY TRIPOD

Isaiah the Profitbv Kevin Graccy

Well, what da hey. The old Profit is nowloading the anemic Slim by two, count 'em

: two, full games in the race for fame, honorand a sausage pizza.(Sue this section for Song of Triumph, 3:40BM1 Published by Truth and Light Inc.).Slim obviously doesn't know his head fromLittle Rock, Arkansas, and his followers, ashabbier lot you will seldom see, are reallywHoiing. The defection from SJim's campused lo be shame-faced, for after all, it wasno great honor to slink away from a for-merly vaunted hero, even if he was gettinghis picks from a malfunctioning IQ QuizComputer in a run-down 52nd Street FunHouse. (Chamber of Horrors in theBasement - See All the Mass MurderersAmerica has taken to its Heart, 50<f). Now,however,' the desertion greatly resembles,the march of the lemmings to the sea.People are walking away with their headsheld high and their eyes shining. Some ofthese people, have, even been offered lushtelevision contracts,-which they haverefused.in order to be able to sit at my feetand receive wisdom, which IJhave flown indaily. And now on behalf of the One-liners'Union, Chapter of Hartford (OUCH) Ipresent the following: I don't know whySlim's pickings were so bad last week.Maybe it was something he Big Eight. Andspeaking of socket wrenches

Penn State and Ohio will meet atUniversity Park, Pennsylvania, this week,rumor has it to play football, but I doubt it.Ohio's chances in this week's affair^areroughly similar to those of the famous SouthAfrican general, surrounded by millions ofZulus, who yelled "Charge!" Persons fromOhio should stick to electing the wrongSenator. Penn State 45 - ohio (notice smallletters) 10..

In the interests of- sportsmanship and theexcitement of picking a toss-up game, Slimselected Georgia Tech-Notre Dame. Theunfortunate thing is that the only thingtossed up will be Georgia Tech. This oneisn't going to be pretty, and I suggest thosepersons with weak stomachs either notwatch at all or watch standing on theirheads so they won't throw up. Notre DameAll There Is - Georgia Tech.

New Mexico-Brigham Young, This is atraditional battle among two of the greatschools of all times over the possession of aSacred Cactus, Blessed in olden days by thegreat saint of the Mormon faith, BrighamYoung, who stepped on it barefoot and wasthereupon heard to make several religiousutterances. NM 28 - BY 0. That's 3/4 of thegreatest joke in the world, folks.

Dartmouth-Cornell. Come on. Dartmouth100-Cornell 10.

Rochester and Tufts will play somethingvaguely resembling football this weekend,

but the game will end with the Rochesterplayers carried off the field by exuberantsupporters and the Tufts players (you cansee this one coming, can't you folks) beingcarried off the field by exuberant am-bulance attendants. And now back to ourcartoon. Rochester 76 - Tufts 7. Or 6.

Montana and South Dakota battle it out inthe classic Upper Northwestern LouisianaPurchase Bowl Saturday on the only field inthe country which has a trout brook runningacross it. The game will undoubtedly behighlighted at halftime by a mangy group ofrodent trappers who will rush out to thefifty-yard line and skin a prairie dog. Thegame? Who cares, except maybe the prairiedog. Montana Two Frogs and a Stick- SouthDakota State a White Stone and a Beaver.iAn unusual scoring system is also em-ployed.)

Penn-Columbia. I have nothing againstQuakers; some of my best friends areQuakers. This may mean nothing to you, butrest assured that two people 1 know arehaving the laugh of their lives. Penn 19 -Columbia 10,

An interesting game transpires in Stan-ford this week, and I will now do my gooddeed for the week by picking Air Force in anupset which will allow the shattered rem-nants of Slim some shred, however, pitiful ofself respect. Air Force 14 - Stanford 8.

Yale and Princeton are loaded withsavages, killers all, but in a dream 1 saw awhole bunch of Swedish people going to aplace of imprisonment, and that's why I pickYale. Ha, I fooled you, you dolts, don't youknow nobody can pick a Yale? Oh, I'm sofast. I got that one in a mere two weeks.Yale 18 - Princeton 7,

And finally, an audience participationpage. Lift your pencils and fill in thefollowing blanks. Florida KentuckyIncidentally, Slim wants me to say that theGators will need aid, but I'm not going to.

As the bicycle maker once said im-mediately before his slow and painful death,"I have spoken."

Trinity Faces RejuvenatedCards In Season's Finale

Frosh'There will be a meeting of all can-

didates for the freshmen basketballteam today at 3:30 p.m, in the sportsroom.

After its first three games this seasonWesleyan's record stood at 1-2, they had lostone of the top quarterback's in New Englandhistory and were being led by a thirdstringer, and they had fallen to Coast Guard,a team who hadn't defeated them since thedays of Admiral Farragut. Cardinal coachDon Russell wasn't chirping.

But Wesleyan rallied behind the thirdstring quarterback, Wes La Fountain, andhave won their last four consecutive games.They enter their season's finale against theBantams, tomorrow at 1:30 in Middletown,with a 5-2 slate and a powerful backfieldwhich destroyed Williams last week withover 300 yards rushing.

Cardinal halfback Ed Tabor was named tothe ECAC Ail-Star team last week and bothhe and giant fullback Dave Revenaughbroke the previous Wesleyan single gamerushing record, Their rushing and thepassing of La Fountain to towering end DonAkin, a center during basketball season,combined with a rapidly improving defensemight spell trouble for the Bants.

Trinity is coming off their best game ofthe season according to head coach DonMiller. "I was very impressed withWesleyan's balance," said Miller, "they're

Philadelphia Slim's Pickings

by Albert Donsky

In a game Eddie Anderson will love,Rochester plays Tufts. Tufts right now is adismal 1-6. After Saturday make it 1-7.Rochester 55-Tufts 9.

Another joke is Notre Dame-GeorgiaTech. Now Tech is good, but not that good. Iwish T could be there to see it.: Gracey's caris still a wreck, and has completely stoppedramblin. One of Dave Crosby's friends had acar like that, It was a Nash Ramblin, He wasa regular cracker. (Must I elaborate?) AGraham Cracker. Notre 14 Dame 7 Georgia10 Tech 3 William 7 Mary 2.

And on with the frivolity. Penn State-Ohio.Not Ohio State, mind you, Ohio U, Chalk upanother one for those very snazzy players,(he Nifty Lions. Penn State whole bunches-Ohio U. half bunches or Ralphe Bunches.

This game looked a lot tougher to pick aweek ago. Since then Air Force has got

. lioaliMi, na wo say in the Sport's world,Stanford will rely on the arm of JimI'hinkott, soon to be a Philadelphia Eagle.As a matter of fact, Stanford will rely on thearm of ,Iim Plunkett, soon to be aPhiladelphia Kagle. As a matter of fact,Si milord will rely on his whole body,liix'uuso ;m arm alone is not much help. Theilwding Vutlov could be that the game ishoing played on the side where the windblows, or. as its commonly known, the Leel-.uui. Stanford. Stanford 22- Air Force 21.

In a bunch of Ivy League Contests that areentirely meaningless, we find, inalphabetical order, Columbia, Cornell,Dartmouth, Pennr Princeton, and Yale,Tinkers to Evers to Chance, the ThreeMusketeers, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, andhalf the population of Painted Privy, Idaho,battling it out, Now on with the jokes.Columbia will be a riot this year. Since theyare the gem of the ocean, look for them tolose unless there is a lot of rain, In the im-mortal words of John Fogarty, "Down onthe Cornell, Out in the Street," The big Redwill see red, namely 18- million DartmouthIndians decending upon Cuyuga's Waters.Vis-a-vis Penn, I have nothing againstQuakers, some of my best friends arefriends. With that out of the way, we canprogress to some serious stuff. Princeton isflying a great deal, so let's hope their planedoes not have a single wing. And old EliYale, who must be pretty old by now, willreally play doggedly on defense, and thatain't no bull. The scores: Dartmouth 52,Penn 42, Yale 32-Cornell 22, Columbia 12 andPrinceton 2, respectively. Got it, cause Idon't.

Kentucky always has good basketballteams, and that will be a factor. 1 don't knowwhy; but look for a last second field goal byFlorida which is blocked by some tallperson, by jumping up from under the

goalpost and knocking the ball away. I wish1 knew something about these teams.Anyway, Kentucky 22-Florida 20, the dif-ference being that field goal.

Believe it or not, Montana is undefeated,demolishing everybody in sight, as well as afew more prudent Portland State playerswho hid. behind a Prestone Anti-Freezebillboard with Dick Butkus' picture on it."Hi, T m Dick Butkus. Pluggin Anti-Freezeis my business." The Montana Grizzliesplay best in a light rain, which is why theyare called the Drizzly Grizzlies. Montanaplays South Dakota State. SDS, as theyprefer not to be known, will be a riotMontana 62 SDS 13, but the rain will help -1wonder what the weathermen have to say.

And last, and certainly least, is BrighamYoung-New Mexico. The Brigham YoungCougars suffer from Mercury pollution. TheNew Mexico Lobos have gone crazy. TheNew Mexico coach, Max Hector, has built amagnificent house for his players- it'scalled, ready out there, Hector's VillaLobos. Speaking of Brigham Young, I havenothing against Mormons, why, some of mybest friends are Mormons. This game isbeing played near Lost Wages. Funny thingabout Lost Wages, it's so old, it has to shiftinto second to go over a sand dune. But allseriousness aside, New Mexico 22-BrifihamYoung 7.

effective both through the air and on theground. Defensively they're quite good andthey're n team that's been able to comefrom behind. But we've been able to comefrom behind loo. The team that hangs inthere the longest will be the winner, andwe've been good at that."

Saturday will see the end of the footballcareers of 13 Trinity players, Seniors MikeNajarian, George Matava, Dave Kiarsis,Ralph Morini, Dave Sample, TomDeBenedetto, Bill Belisle, Cliff Cutler, BillSartorelli, Henry Smith, Ron Smith and co-captains Mike James and Jon Miller willplay their last game, and they'd like to leavewith a win.

Trinity PolicyForbids Bowl

by Dick Vune

Even if Trinity should beat Wesleyan, 5-2on the year, to raise their record to 7-1, therewill be no bowl game for the Bantams.Coach Don Miller said that if a bowl bid istendered, as is likely, the Bantams almostcertainly would not accept.

Miller said that it has become schoolpolicy not to accept post-season bowl bids."The football season takes a considerableamount of study time away from theplayers," said Miller, "and extending theseason another two or three weeks couldappreciably damage many of the playersacademically."

The Bantam head coach, now 21-8-2' in ' Inearly four years at Trinity, explained that Ithe decision not to go to a bowl game has •>been the policy for several years and wasmade in the best interests of the players;"Even if we should get invited to a bowl, isaid Miller, "we would probably face a teamwith a completely different athletic policy :than ours. If we were to face a team with allof its players on athletic scholarships youcan guess what the result might be."

"Excluding those factors, I'm not evensure the players would want to play a post-season game," said Miller. "We have beenworking intensely at football since Sep-tember 1 and by now the players are verytired. They would have to practice anothertwo weeks and probably have to sacrifice afew days of their Thanksgiving vacation anaI'm not sure they would want to do it."

"It would take a lot of pressure for us toconsider a bowl invitation," concludedMiller.

Although a bowl bid would be a _ com-plement to a fine season, it would not fit intoTrinity's conception of the place of athletics.The school is making every attempt to getaway from the cutthroat race into whicnfootball is evolving and accepting a bowl biowould only push Trinity closer to that ratrace. Although it would be interesting to seehow the Bantams would do in a post-seasoncontest, the honor of a bowl is not worwsacrificing the sound concept of athleticswhich Trinity has now.
